Schneider Electric has introduced prefabricated power modules and skids for AI data centers, giving operators in Europe a standardized electrical option for dense computing sites. The launch brings equipment for high-power workloads into a planned regional rollout that has yet to reach North America.
Power equipment for dense computing
The range targets hyperscale, neocloud and colocation data centers. Schneider positions it for AI training clusters, high-performance computing and other workloads that rely heavily on graphics processing units. Prefabrication is the central offer: operators can choose from standardized electrical systems rather than specifying every element as a separate project.
Each configuration uses Schneider’s Galaxy VXL uninterruptible power supply, or UPS, technology. The three sizes give customers a defined set of power options for planning an installation. Schneider has not tied any one size to a stated amount of computing capacity; these are specifications for the electrical systems.

The NVIDIA design connection
The modules and skids are based on reference designs Schneider developed with NVIDIA for infrastructure aligned with NVIDIA’s GB300 NVL72 platform. Those designs cover power-management and liquid-cooling controls. That connection places the new electrical products within a wider infrastructure plan; it does not mean the power modules themselves are liquid-cooling equipment.
Schneider says the standardized designs can support infrastructure deployment in as little as six months, depending on project requirements. That makes speed part of the pitch, but the timetable is conditional: a customer’s project still determines how quickly the equipment can be deployed.
The rollout beyond Europe
The systems are manufactured in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain, and are available in Europe. Schneider plans to make them available in North America later in 2026, then in other international markets and Asia-Pacific. For operators elsewhere, the next step is a planned launch rather than equipment already on offer.
That sequence makes the European market the first place customers can put the standardized systems to use. The wider rollout will determine when operators in other regions can make the same choice; individual projects will show whether the design approach delivers Schneider’s proposed deployment pace.
